Chateau Mukhrani was founded on the tradition of winemaking in the Mukhrani area of Georgia dating back in millennia. It is the original Georgian Royal Chateau, and the only Chateau to unite four key components: the Vineyard, the Winery, the Chateau and the Winemaking history. The history of winemaking at Chateau Mukhrani started in 1878 when the first vintage was released. It was Ivane Mukhranbatoni, a descendant of the Bagrationi Royal Family, who, after returning home from France in 1876 where he learnt about the fine art of winemaking in the Bordeaux and Champagne regions, decided to introduce the concept of a Chateau in Georgia. He introduced the then contemporary winemaking methods that were already widely used in Europe, and started producing wonderful Georgian wines on the ancestral Mukhrani Estate. Chateau Mukhrani has become renowned around the world for its splendid Chateau and Cellars, wonderful gardens and pristine vineyards.
